FYI There are also some options in Remove (5)
Remove (5)
Removing parts of a filename.
This section consists of several options for removing parts of a filename. Note that these do not apply to the file extension, just the name.
· First n - Remove the first n characters from the name. E.g. removing the first 2 characters from "Joe Public.txt" will result in "e Public.txt".
· Last n - Remove the last n characters from the name. E.g. removing the last 2 characters from "Joe Public.txt" will result in "Joe Publ.txt".
· From/to - Remove a string of text, e.g. from the 6th to the 9th characters.
· Chars - Remove occurrences of characters from the name. E.g. typing "QW:#" will result in all occurrences of Q, W, colon and hash being removed.
· Words - Remove occurrences of words (separated by spaces).
· Crop - Remove any text which occurs before (or after) a specific character or word. See note below.
· Digits - Remove all occurrences of the digits 0-9 from the filename.
· High - Remove high-ASCII characters (chars from 128 to 255).
· Trim - Remove leading and trailing spaces.
· D/S - Remove occurrences of double spaces, and replace them with single spaces.
· Accent - Remove accented characters and replace them with non-accented versions. File names may contain accented characters, e.g. File names might contain à and á. Bulk Rename Utility provides a facility to replace accented characters with non-accented if needed.
· Chars - Remove all characters.
· Sym - Remove all symbols.
· Lead Dots - Remove the . and/or .. from the front of filenames (useful if you've copied from a Linux/Unix system).
